Helenomics 

Taking tax dollars from lower and middle income folks in order to fund massive construction projects that benefit the well connected wealthy. In turn the well connected wealthy make sizeable political contributions to the politician in question.
The theory of Helenomics was created by Helen Shiller, the alderman of the 46th Ward of Chicago - you skim $125,000,000 in incremental property tax revenue from the county's coffers to build low, very low, and extremely low income housing projects, giving the government contracts to your cronies and friends, who then turn around and donate large sums of money back into your political campaigns.

heronomics 

This is where a villager steps up and steps in to defend the village from dragons, becoming a hero, is paid accordingly, receives recognition, status and marries the fairest maiden. The hero isn't nominated by the king but knows at least one villager will bring it upon themselves to do what's right. The king relies upon heronomics to fund the protection of the realm rather than budget for enough knights to defend all of the villages.

In the corporate world, product gaps are covered in a similar manner.
One exec to another: "Yeah I know our product doesn't handle everything our customer wants, but we know our field team will step up, heronomics will take care of it so we don't have to plan that out."

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.

“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
